Migrating an Existing Embed Code to Player V3 (Deprecated)

Migrating an existing embed code is straightforward in Player V3.

Note: Ooyala Player V3 and V2 have been deprecated and are scheduled
to be disabled on 2018-01-31. After that date, Player V3 and Player V2 will no longer
play your video or audio content. Customers still using older players need to migrate to Player
V4 (see Player V4.

To get started, you can copy an existing web page to test out the migration process. If you
have many web pages or a site with multiple players, you may want to script the migration. To
start migrating from a web page, you need to do the following:

Insert the correct DOCTYPE in your web page.

Set up your head tags and include the script tags around your existing load player
statements. For example:

Then add the <head> tags and the v3 path. Instead of the embed code information, you
insert the player branding id (get this from Backlot). If your player is a Flash player, it
will continue to work as always. The Player V3 will “wrap” the Flash player and playback
continues to work as it normally does.

Within the <body> tags, you will place the player in the <div> container and
include your embed code information. In the following example, we have taken the size
parameters and specified them in the <div> container. However, you can also specify the
<div> container as one size and the actual video another size by adding additional
parameters.
